"Don't make me feel bad." Ningxia insisted. Yan Zi had no way to refuse and just stayed at her house.
Yan Zi was fine, but Ma Desheng was covered in wounds and had to lie down for more than half a month before he could get up and walk.
The two children have recovered a lot during this period. Compared with the unnutritious white rice soup, Ningxia eats milk powder, egg custard, lean meat porridge and fruit.
I get whatever I can to nourish the two children.
"Ningxia, you really don't have to eat so well. You have two children to raise at home." Yan Zi's eyelids twitched when she saw Ningxia was eating soup all the time.
What family could afford such waste? She knew Ningxia felt guilty about them, but they had done it voluntarily.
They don't ask for anything in return. They just eat and drink well here during this period. It's really a paradise-like life.
Now it’s not that the Ningxia couple feel guilty, but they can’t hold their heads up high.
"You know Ren Jingxiao is a hunter. These are what he hunted when I was in confinement. He didn't finish them. The weather is getting hotter day by day, and they will go bad if he doesn't finish them."
Ningxia didn't want them to think too much. These things were good things for Yan Zi's family, but they were just ordinary things for their family.
Uncle Hu has established a firm foothold in the county town because of the meat he sells. Whenever there are any fresh goods or rare fruits, he always asks people to send some over for people to try.
There were many things that Yan Zi had never seen before, but they knew in their hearts that Brother Ren’s family was indeed a capable family, so they took these things home as if they were free.
"Desheng and I are almost done, and we want to go home tomorrow." Ma Desheng said this several times.
It's really like he's in confinement here. He has never enjoyed such a good life since he was a child.
"Okay." Ningxia didn't force it anymore, since it was just next door anyway.
The two were sent home and given two cans of milk powder, two bottles and a large piece of meat.
She still has enough breast milk for her two little ones, and the ones she has prepared in her space will be enough if nothing unexpected happens.
When the milk is not enough, the children can eat complementary foods, and the nutrition will definitely be enough. Let’s focus on the two girls first.
"Xia Xia, you've worked hard." Ren Jingxiao reached out and massaged Ningxia's shoulders.
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened." Ningxia was relieved only now, for she was afraid that something might happen to Yan Zi's family.
"Then send them some food every few days." Ren Jingxiao was also glad that the child was fine, otherwise Ma Desheng and his wife would definitely not survive.
"Well, just go to work with peace of mind." Ningxia thought about how he had been asking for leave every few days recently.
Lu Hai also ran to the provincial capital all day long for the meat issue, and the Ministry of Transportation must have something against them.
"Okay, I'll go back to work tomorrow. Lu Hai's almost done, but I haven't checked out Uncle Hu yet."
Ren Jingxiao wanted to let Lu Hai settle the marriage himself, but he refused to do so no matter what, for fear of losing the money and not being able to afford the compensation even if he sold it.
"Aunt Lu has been busy with us lately, and Lu Hai hasn't been driving much because of this. Go and tell Minister Zheng about this later. Those people in the Ministry of Transportation don't know the truth and are secretly making Lu Hai angry."
This incident solved a big problem for the Ministry of Transport. Minister Zheng was also aware of it, but he just didn't want to tell others.
"I spoke to Minister Zheng, and he approved Lu Hai's leave directly. I've been taking a lot of leave lately, and everyone thought it was difficult for me to drive alone, so they were all thankful that I wasn't assigned to the same fleet as Lu Hai."
Ren Jingxiao thought that the Ministry of Transportation was just a convenient place for him to work, otherwise he would not earn the salary.
After get off work the next day, Ren Jingxiao and Lu Hai went to see Uncle Hu to settle the bill. Lu Hai was as cautious as a thief along the way.
"If you act like this, others will know that something is wrong with you. Straighten your back a little. This is just the beginning." Ren Jingxiao was holding a bag of money in his hand and didn't take it seriously at all.
Lu Hai's palms were sweating. If he had heard correctly, Brother Ren had earned more than 6,000 yuan this time.
He could never earn such a huge sum of money in his lifetime, so how could he not be nervous?
As soon as he got home, Ren Jingxiao took out ten Great Unity cards and gave them to Lu Hai.
The money he was given last time was confiscated, and this time, Ren Jingxiao had already discussed it with Ningxia, including the reward for Aunt Lu helping them take care of the children.
"Brother Ren, I don't want it, I..." Before Lu Hai could finish his words, he saw Brother Ren glaring at him and dared not say any more.
"Here, this is for my aunt. She has worked hard during this period. I will have to trouble her again in the future."
"If you don't want it, then don't follow me anymore, and don't ask me to save the money for you."
"You should save your own money. Why are you asking me to save it for you? My wife manages my money. It's fine if she manages my money, but why should she manage yours?"
Ningxia, who was in the room, heard everything Ren Jingxiao said. Why was she jealous?
Lu Hai looked at Brother Ren helplessly. It was great to have a wife. He would let his wife manage the finances when he got married in the future.
"By the way, Brother Ren, the Song and Fu families are out, but I don't know what happened. I thought they were either going to the Ministry of Transportation's family compound or looking for you to make trouble, but I didn't expect them to go back to the countryside as soon as they came out."
Lu Hai thought about the gossip he heard in the staff quarters today. Are they scared or are they planning something big?
"They don't have a letter of introduction. Maybe they went back to get one. It's okay. I'll let them stay in the countryside. As long as they don't cause trouble in the next two years, I'll let them do whatever they want in the future."
Ren Jingxiao had just shown up at the police station. If he went to beat those people up again, even if he could prevent them from finding any evidence, they would definitely become suspicious if the matter was brought to the police station later.
How come it was such a coincidence that he was involved in everything? He had to stay here and didn't want to be watched.
Seeing that his brother Ren understood what was going on, Lu Hai happily took the money and went into the kitchen, whispering something to Aunt Lu.
"Xia Xia, please keep this money." As soon as Lu Hai left, Ren Jingxiao handed a bag of money to Ningxia with a smile, and then stared at him.
"Hubby is awesome! Do you know how much money we have now? Nearly 120,000! You're really capable."
This was the 1970s, and no one would believe it if you told them that there was so much money.
"There will be more in the future." Ren Jingxiao felt particularly satisfied when he saw Xia Xia's surprised expression.
He liked to see Xia Xia’s happy face when she received the money, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment.
"By the way, June is almost here. You should prepare. I want you to take the junior high school entrance exam and try to get a diploma."
Although I plan to make a fake certificate, it is better to try it myself. If I really fail the exam, I can try it later.
Ren Jingxiao was dumbfounded. Why was Xia Xia still thinking about this?
